Disliking this trend of awarding quotas based on world ranking, it only awards the rich/sponsored athletes/nations who can afford to travel around the world.

Zero doubts this system was planned with the sole purpose of preventing a weak south american team from qualifying in either gender

I think it partially because some countries continuously quit tournaments due to Covid (especially East Asian)so IOC wants to stop this trend and hope every nation begins to attend all kinds of tournaments as usual in the new cycle.

It'll be interesting to see how things go for East Asia in terms of qualification. I don't see them missing anything important, but they could lose out on borderline qualification, except North Korea which may or may not continue their break from international sports. Of course, if things get better by 2023 then they won't lose much.

FIVB just continues to be shamelessly transparent in regards of the beach volleyball. "Continental Cup" as a qualifier makes no sense. Guess who profits from it?

 

But if it ain't broke...

Yeah, I'm still upset that they essentially prevented from qualifying because they couldn't find a second competitive team.

Finally! No more strong teams out from games! No more european teams penalized for a weacky esotic nation!

Good decision!
